Hi!
Greetings! We hope you are happy, healthy and had a great
week! If you’re reading this, we assume you received our email
about the Ezine changing servers and you have confirmed your
subscription. The server change has taken place and we’re right on
schedule!
We’ve got a great article today by our friend and fellow marketer,
Willie Crawford. Thinking of Willie brought something to mind that
we’d like to recommend to all of you. Do you have a mentor? We
remember reading quite some time ago that if you want to be
successful in your online business, you need a mentor. Find someone
who is having success with their business and follow their lead. For
us, that person was Willie. Most of the time, it’s just a matter
of asking that person if they would be willing to work with you and
pass along what they have learned. You’ll find that the majority
of successful internet marketers are more than willing to help. Just
ask!
Be sure to visit the Partners in Success website as new content has
been added this week.

Have a great week and may your business continue to grow and
prosper.

Are You Still Broke With 10,000 People In Your Downline?
Copyright 2004 By Willie Crawford
How many hype-filled emails have you received by someone who
recently joined a network marketing company and in only a few weeks
had over 1000 members in their downline? They
encouraged you to get in early because this one was "really
growing fast." They encouraged you to get in on the ground
floor to take advantage of all of the momentum and guaranteed
"spillover."
I get these almost daily.
Do these emails excite you? They shouldn't because they attempt to
fill you with emotional excitement rather than encouraging you to
look at things objectively. Any business that you're thinking of
investing your time and other resources in should be looked at long
and hard! Do your due diligence just as you should with any major
business decision.
One of the first questions you should ask someone pushing you to
join under them is, "How much money have you made?" Or
just ask them, "Have you made any money at it yet?"
If they haven't made any money at it yet, then you need to bring
them back to reality by asking them to explain how they can get so
excited about it then. Find out all that you can about the company,
it's management, and other projects that the management has been
involved in.
Here's a sobering fact shared with me by mentors who have been in
network marketing since the late 1950's... 97% of all MLM companies
fail (90% within the first three years). Does that mean that you
shouldn't get involved in MLM? No, but it does mean that you should
probably only get involved in companies that have already proven
themselves. I was personally taught to only look at companies at
least 5 years old.
Why be the guinea pig for an unproven company when you have so many
choices? Why go against the odds by going with an unproven company?
So why do people get so excited about new launches, and what's wrong
with that?
People get drawn into the hype of the massive potential of new
launches because they are looking for a way to generate massive
income - with no work. It's as simple as that. Even though they know
that there's no such things as a free lunch, they convince
themselves that maybe they've finally found one :-)
Think about this for a second.... most of those people who rush into
a new lauch are people already involved in network marketing. They
know that the concept is very powerful, and is the best chance that
the average person has today to create a successful business of
their own. The
problem with most of the people attracted to these companies is that
they lack commitment. So as soon as they see another company that,
on the surface, appears more attractive, they're going to jump over
to that one.
Here's the real problem with the whole scenario layed out above.
Who's producing the sales? Where is the income coming from? If
everybody is jumping in... often for free... and then counting on
others underneath them to generate the revenue, then who is actually
making the sales
necessary to make that company a success? Sales, and proper
training, drive any business' success.
Ok, you should'nt fall for all of the hype, but we do know that
network marketing works. How does it work then? It works by people
like you being trained by someone who has a system in place for
bringing in new people - and training them properly. The system has
to be something that the
average person, who is also willing to work, can easily learn and
pass on. It's that simple.
You won't have any major, lasting success in network marketing until
you focus on finding and properly training a few good people. They
have to be provided with a system that they can easily duplicate and
that they can teach to their new recruits.
One of the early mistakes in my networking business was not focusing
on this specific area. I'm a skilled marketer with a huge list,
better than average copywriting skills, and name recognition. Those
assets made it easy for me to generate new signups.
New signups weren't what I needed to focus on. It's not what you
need to focus on. Reflect upon the title of this article. That's the
question you need to ask yourself. If you don't like what you see,
then obviously you need a different system.
Anyone that you do signup is only going to be productive and help
build your business if they are properly trained.
Being human, there
is a limit as to how many people you.... one person, can effectively
train, manage, and motivate. So you need to focus on properly
training just a handful, and
having each of that handful do the same. Continue this through
several levels and you can have that huge organization, but with a
big difference...
You'll have a huge organization of properly trained, producing
members, who know how to bring in even more people and properly
train them. That's how your organization grows into the tens of
thousands and even beyond.
One other very important point about the system necessary for your
success... The training needs to be formalized and packaged so that
new members can be "plugged right in."
If you want to see
an example of such a system in operation, check out:
http://www.ffsi.com/13310
This is a system that evolves around providing training and support
to team members. Team members have ready access to formalized
training put together by top producers in the
company. Team members have ready access to other team members on all
levels. The day that I joined this team, I received emails (with
phone numbers) from 3 different people.
The other reason that I wanted you to take a look at that website is
that you won't see any mention of building a huge downline. It's not
necessary. The top producer in the company in August 2004 is a
member of this team. So is the number 2 producer for that month
(that would be me). However, if you study the site, you'll see that
it's not about large numbers... they only impress those who don't
know any better.
You can build a business that will provide the lifestyle that you
want for yourself and your family. You won't do it by being swept up
by all of the hype surrounding the launch of "the latest and
greatest." Instead you'll do it by taking a long hard look at
any company that you're contemplating, and asking lots of probing
questions. You'll do it by acknowledging that there still is no such
thing as a free lunch, but there are people who've already done what
you want to do who are willing to teach you.

This week’s Question was submitted by:
Harvey Booth
Q. My inbox has become saturated lately with ads for all of
these "money doubler" programs that are popping up
everywhere. Are these programs for real?
A. Ditto Harvey, we have been bombarded with them as well.
There are a couple of these programs that have been around for years
and have a good solid track record. In fact, we have four positions
in one of them and we ARE doubling our money. The one that we are in
is at:
http://www.empowerism.com/e/87549
We have no problem recommending this program to anyone.
As for the newer ones popping up everywhere, we would suggest being
VERY cautious before investing your hard earned money into them. At
the very least, do some due dilligence and research on the program
before investing.
